How it works
Public nominations for the five categories were open for the whole of June 2024, but are now closed for this year.
The 2024 nominations are now being verified by the International Pride Awards team, and a long list of nominees for each category is being submitted to our Awards Committee for consideration and evaluation.
The awardees will be announced live at a ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa on 13 November 2024, which will be part of ILGA World’s World Conference.
Information about the awardees will be published here after they have been announced at the ceremony. Please subscribe using the form on the home page, if you would like to receive updates from us. You can also follow our social media channels, listed at the bottom of the page.
